Chapter 105
“Of course I do. But why do you suddenly want to see Virgil’s childhood photos?” asked Page
Moira explained, “I just want to get to know him better. I’m a bit curious if he looked as handsome‘ as a kid as he does now.
Hearing Moira compliment her son’s looks, Page smiled with pride and said, “I have plenty of photos. Wait here, Moira. I’ll go get them.”
Moira felt a strange sense of relief after hearing that.
Page soon returned with two large photo albums.
The covers were a bit yellowed and peeling, but the photos inside were perfectly preserved, without a single crease.
Page said. “This one has pictures of him when he was a baby and in clementary school.
“And this one has his middle school, high school, and college pictures. There’s actually only one photo from college. He didn’t like taking photos as he got older. That one was taken on his graduation day when his dad insisted on having a picture together.”
Page
flipped to the last page and pointed to a family photo.
In the picture, Virgil was wearing a graduation gown, his sharp features standing our even back then. While the young man in the photo appeared a bit more youthful and cheerful compared to the Virgil she knew now, the face was unmistakably his
Moira turned to the earlier pages, looking through photos from his elementary, middle, and high school years. She could always find traces of the
Margil she knew in those photos–Standing next to him in most pictures was his parents.
Moira thus confirmed that Virgil wasn’t Conrad and heaved a sigh of relief.
After spending a little more time chatting with Page, Moira got a call from Zea and left.
Moira handed over a dining voucher to Zea when they met
Zea asked, “How much is it transfer the money to you”
“No need. Virgil didn’t want my money. Moira replied.
Zea said, “This voucher isn’t cheap. Is your husband really giving it to me for free?“
Moira’s eyes flickered. She lowered her gaze and said, “You’re my best friend. Of course, he wouldn’t take your money!
In fact, Moira had intended to buy the voucher for Zea herself, but Virgil had refused to take her money.
“Moira, don’t you think your relationship with Virgil is getting better and better?” asked Zex.
Moira was sipping her juice through a straw. When she heard that, she choked and coughed repeatedly.
Zea hurriedly handed her a tissue. “Are you okay!”
“Tm fine.” Moira croaked, her voice slightly hourse from coughing
“Is something on your mind?” Zea asked, noticing Moira’s distracted state,
After a moment of silence, Moira told her about Darlene’s accusations.
Zea’s eyes widened in shock after hearing what had happened. “Virgil is Conrad Morton? The richest man in Elkəriş‘‘
Moira rolled her eyes and said, “How is that possible?“.
“But that’s what you just said, isn’t it?” asked Zea
Moira clarified, “I said that’s what Darlene claimed, not me.”
Zra was confused. “That woman is the wife of Mitchell Group’s president. She must’ve seen Conrad before. There’s no way she’d mistake him for someone else”
“She didn’t say Virgil is Conrad. She just suspects that Conrad is targeting Mitchell Group and thinks I might’ve incited him to do that,” Moira explained again.

Zes said. “I told you before, all of this couldn’t just be a coincidence, including the recent incident with Bento
that tweet to punish him for you?”“”
Must have posted
Zea grew more animated as she continued. I had a feeling Virgil wasn’t an ordinary man when I first met him. But thought he might actually be Conrad Morton! No wonder he could get me that voucher. Moira, you’re incredibly lucky!”
“Virgil isn’t Conrad Monon,” Moira replied firmly. She then explained her visit to Page earlier that day
“Childhood photos can look pretty different from how someone looks as an adult. Are you sure that was him!” Zea was skeptical.
Moira said, “Page had two big alburns. They included photos of Virgil from the day he was born to his college years”
Zea took a sip of her juice and said thoughtfully. Then why is Darlene so sure you’re with Conrad? Whether it’s the Whalescape’s president, Benton, or that surveillance footage from the cafe, don’t you think all these coincidences are a bit too much?”
Moira nodded and agreed, “I think Virgil might be working at the Morton Group, and Conrad is his boss”
